Green & Co.'S report on cotton futures says:
The feature of the cotton market to-day was
in the issue of BTddsireets estimate of the crop.
This at 64S0,000 bales, is in excess of most of
previous rumors, and the effe-t was more or
less depressing, with shading on value amount
ing to l5Gll9 points on selling out of long con-
tracts. The offering, however, was not as
heavy as might have been expected, and small
recovery took place. with the final tone steady.
Liverpool also gave way, but private advices in
Dictated that the estimate issued to-day had a
steadier influence upon Manchester, as showing
a comparatively moderate supply against pre-
dicted conSumptive wants. Very little short
selling took place to-day"

CHICAGO, Dec. 3.-There was more settled
feeling in grains at the opening of the Exchange
to-day, first sales being at exactly yesterday
closing prices, or S515c. for May wheat. But il
was strong nevertheless, and within ten minutes
got up to S55sc. Corn was also inclined to be
bullish, the market opening at 549sc. for May
selling up to 5434c., then weakening to SAC.
recovering later and going up to 5476c January
pork opened at S14 6215, and advanced 1Oc
within as many minutes At the end of the first
hour the country contingent was ahead After
the heavy realizing of yesterday light weight
local traders concluded that the market was
sale and acted on that idea. Heavy traders, as
a general rule, were holding back and taking nc
active part. A flood of early traders from the
country sent wheat up to s6l8Q1S614c. for May
There was some disposition on the part of both
local and the country crowd to do less business
after this time, and May wheat settled down into
steady market around &c.,, and May corn did
likewise at soc. Provisions were the most quiet
deal of all, but strength in corn pinned January
pork up 10 Sl4 TI12 DuC IL 100 became STEADY
with other markets, and was firm at $14 20
The indications were that comparatively little
trading would be dons until after Mondays visi
BILE supply statement had been made public
After May reached S619c. it weakened back to
about 855sc, and after became very steady
Corn held its own and was steady market all
day Reports of greater damage than has been
previously reported are brought up from South
west Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska by parties
recently travelling through those sections.
They say hogs are also short crop. The effect
is to inspire the belief that prices all around are
going to be higher.
